Organization Description About St. John’s St. John’s Well Child and Family Center (SJWCFC) is an independent 501(c)(3) community health center. We serve patients of all ages through a network of Federally Qualified Health Centers and school-based clinics that span the breadth of Central and South Los Angeles and Compton. Our work, however, goes far beyond the traditional health care model to embrace the broader concept of well-being. In addition to providing a broad array of primary care services, we place a high priority on developing supportive services to address families’ educational, socio-economic, and mental health needs. This is accomplished through outreach, health education, child development and literacy education, case management, insurance enrollment, and mental health assessments. We have and continue to establish strong partnerships with health, educational, social service and development agencies to deliver a wide range of services that are responsive to community needs.
Our mission is to eliminate health disparities and foster community well-being by providing and promoting the highest quality care in South Los Angeles.

Internship Opportunities
We are seeking students with keen analytical intellect for a wide range of mind-bending financial analysis and IT projects. The goal of our internship program is to offer a wide range of instructional opportunities through which to develop clinical and administrative skills. During this internship experience, students will engage in enriching and thought-provoking learning opportunities, which link theory to actual “hands-on” practices. This internship program will help prepare college students with skills that can be applied in any clinical and administrative setting. We offer the structure and guidance necessary for building independence and provide a unique learning environment for interns to enhance their skills with relevant assignments. We welcome college students interested in the fields of health care, health care administration, finance, or human resources, to apply for an internship with our organization.
